Volunteerism is the drumbeat of BeadforLife. It is at the core of our work:  raising awareness about extreme poverty in the lives of hard-working Ugandans, and eradicating poverty one bead at a time. We value our volunteers and believe in the service of love and dedication. Welcome to our fun and inspiring work! If you are interested in volunteering with us, please contact Korri Roach.
